Commercial washrooms specialist Inscape Interiors has won a host of new projects spanning sectors including education, healthcare, industrial and logistics.
The Chorley-based firm has been appointed by Kier Northern to complete the washrooms and changing facilities within the new £36m net zero carbon Deyes High School in Maghull, Liverpool. The new 110,00 sq ft, three-storey building will have more than 60 classrooms and a range of sports facilities.
Inscape has also been selected by Clegg Construction to work on the refurbishment of the former Maltby Grammar School Building in Rotherham, a project that will rescue the historic building and create a new community resource for Maltby Academy.
The project will save the building from demolition, thanks to £4.5m of government Levelling Up funding. It is due to open by the end of the year, providing wellbeing, employment and enterprise, and other learning opportunities for local people.
Inscape has also secured two new projects in the logistics sector. It will provide washroom manufacture and fit-out services for a development of new Grade A industrial units and office space on the Gateway 36 logistics park in Barnsley on behalf of Glencar Construction, as well as for a new DPD delivery depot in Carlisle on behalf of Caddick Construction.
Glencar will deliver 340,000 sq ft of logistics accommodation and 20,000 sq ft of office space on behalf of real estate investor Firethorn Trust at the Gateway 36 development, located off junction 36 of the M1.
The new purpose-built DPD depot on Kingmoor Park industrial estate, Carlisle, is expected to create almost 200 additional jobs by replacing DPD’s previous facility at the same site, boosting warehouse capacity by an additional 20,000 sq ft and taking the total number of jobs at the site to 350.
Integrated Health Projects has also appointed Inscape to work on the washroom facilities for a new £6m oncology and urology unit it is delivering at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary on behalf of University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust.
Paul Partington, business development director at Inscape, said: “All of these projects will make a huge difference to communities in their own way, whether it’s helping to shape the lives of young people, helping people to recover from illness, or providing jobs, growth and investment.
“We’re incredibly proud to have been trusted by some of the biggest names in the construction sector to deliver washroom manufacture and fit-out services for these vital projects.”
